Questions & Answers
Frequently asked customer questions
What is peripheral neuropathy, and what causes it?
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that results from damage to the peripheral nerves—typically affecting the feet and hands. It can be caused by diabetes, autoimmune diseases, chemotherapy, infections, or even unknown factors (idiopathic neuropathy).
What symptoms can acupuncture help with?
Acupuncture is commonly used to alleviate:
Burning or tingling sensations
Numbness in the feet or toes
Sharp or stabbing pain
Muscle weakness or cramping
Cold or overly sensitive feet
Many patients also report improved sleep, mood, and mobility after treatment.
How does acupuncture work for nerve-related conditions?
Acupuncture stimulates specific points that:
Promote blood flow to damaged nerves
Modulate pain perception via endorphin release
Support the body’s natural healing response
Reduce inflammation affecting the nerve pathways
It’s a gentle, drug-free approach backed by growing research.
How many sessions do I need before I see results?
Results vary by individual. Some patients experience relief after just 1–2 sessions, while others require 6–10 sessions for noticeable improvement. Chronic or severe cases may need ongoing maintenance.
